Butter cupcakes recipe II



Absolutely simple cupcakes, and delicious too! I found this recipe while checking out popular cupcake recipes on the net. I made some adjustments on it. I reduced sugar from 125 gm  to 110 gm, because it was too sweet.  These cupcakes have beautiful golden brown tops that spring back when  pressed softly, you will also taste hints of vanilla. They are perfect to be served at anytime.

There are two types of frosting you can choose from to suit your liking. Preparation and baking time will take an hour.

125 gm unsalted butter, softened
125 gm caster sugar

Method :
1. Preheat oven 170 C.

4. Prepare 24 paper cups into the pan.
